NASSAU, Bahamas – The Toastmasters program is one well-heard of throughout the country, known for its selection of orators and leaders. Local Club 3596 has been a long-standing member of this influential international body and hopes to continue to spread the word about the offerings and appeal of this dynamic program. “We want to reach more people to tell them about the program,” says President Damien K.T. Miller, “and also educate those already interested in membership.”
With that in mind, the Club has planned an educational forum that will cover all bases and touch on everything that everyone ever wanted to know about Toastmasters. There will be information about the various communication and leadership tracks, information about how to join, the various roles and responsibilities, as well as testimonials from current members about the benefit of becoming a Toastmaster.
But the day won’t be all about business. Fun, interactive activities will also be incorporated to ensure persons get a true, first-hand feel of what it’s like to be a Toastmaster and a member of Club 3596. “It’s an all-encompassing forum,” explains Educational Vice President, Tiffany Johnson. “We’re going to touch all bases and also keep it interesting to ensure people see the value and the benefits and are willing to take advantage of the opportunities.”
The educational forum entitled “Get Toast-ED!” will be held this coming Saturday, March 31, 2012 at C.V. Bethel Senior High from 8:30am-12pm. There is no charge and all eligible persons (age 18 and older) are invited to attend. For more information, contact Mr. Damien Miller at 324-0993 or Ana-Alicia Burrows at 565-7035.
The New Providence Branch of Toastmasters Club 3596 is affiliated with Toastmasters International, a program geared towards improving communication and leadership skills. The Club meets every Monday, save for Public Holidays, 6:30pm-8:30pm at The Cancer Society of The Bahamas.
